I feel as "resposble" to give you the main info in all genealogical search on the planet, the possible place of the origin of yours from Europe. Thanks to incredible finds of our genforum friend Norbert (dear Norbert, chapeau bas!!), here is my try:

Your Gottfried / Gottlieb Daft's and his family origin in Europe is:

The village of LEOKADIA, located in central Poland, in the Masovia province, and the nearest local small town was LASKARZEW (also as RC parish), please just touch all on the detailed map of Poland:http://mapa.szukacz.pl/?x=678736&y=439132&zoom=3http://mapa.szukacz.pl/?x=678736&y=439132&zoom=3

All this land was in the 19th c under Russia, all was the beloved land of origin and living of many Polish Jews - I think this was origin of yours, seeing the family names. But also as of few Germans - Lutherans/Evangelics.
